Will Jones 5a1015ba72 docs(python): fill gaps in the Python API reference (#3746)
`docs/src/python/python.md` is the whole Python API reference, but it is
maintained by hand and had drifted from the public API. Anything not
listed there simply doesn't get rendered, so a number of public,
documented, tested APIs were invisible to users — most notably branch
management, where `diff` and `merge` live.

I audited every public symbol reachable from `lancedb` and its
subpackages against the `:::` directives on the page. This adds the
missing ones:

- **Branching** — `Branches`, `AsyncBranches` (`list` / `create` /
`checkout` / `delete` / `diff` / `merge`)
- **Tables** — `TableStatistics` (returned by `Table.stats()`; the
fragment-level stats classes were already listed)
- **Full text queries** — `FullTextQuery`, `MatchQuery`, `PhraseQuery`,
`BoostQuery`, `MultiMatchQuery`, `BooleanQuery`, `FullTextOperator`,
`Occur`
- **Querying** — `LanceEmptyQueryBuilder`, `LanceTakeQueryBuilder`,
`AsyncTakeQuery`
- **Indices** — `Fm` (the FM-index for substring search), `IndexConfig`
- **Blobs** — `blob`, `BlobType`, `BlobFile`
- **Namespaces** — `connect_namespace`, `connect_namespace_async`, and
both namespace connection classes
- **Remote config** — `TlsConfig`, `HeaderProvider`, `OAuthConfig`,
`OAuthFlowType`
- **Rerankers** — the `Reranker` base class plus `JinaReranker`,
`RRFReranker`, `MRRReranker`, `AnswerdotaiRerankers`,
`VoyageAIReranker`, `WatsonxReranker` (5 of 12 were listed)
- **Embeddings** — `get_registry`, `register`, and the 14 embedding
functions that were missing (3 of 17 were listed)
- **PyTorch** — `StreamingDataset` and the permutation API it is built
on
- **Misc** — `Session`, `tokenize`, `FtsToken`, `pydantic.Vector`,
`pydantic.MultiVector`, `instrument_lancedb_metrics`, and the two
exception types

It also repairs cross-references in docstrings that no longer resolve:
links into guide pages that have since moved to lancedb.com
(`querying-an-ann-index`, `experimental-full-text-search`),
`lance.dataset` references with no inventory behind them, and the
relative targets `[Table](Table)` and `[PyArrow Table](pyarrow.Table)`.

Deliberately left out: concrete implementation classes reached through
their abstract base (`LanceTable`, `LanceDBConnection`,
`RemoteDBConnection`), query base classes already covered by
`inherited_members: true`, and internal plumbing such as
`FullTextSearchQuery` and `ColumnOrdering`.

## Testing

The docs job only runs on pushes to `main`, so I built the site locally
and compared against a build of `upstream/main`: every added entry
resolves, and no symbol that was rendered before stopped being rendered
when the four packages moved to automodule. `mkdocs build --strict`
exits 0 on this branch, against 61 warnings on `main`.

## Also in this PR

`lancedb.index`, `lancedb.embeddings`, `lancedb.remote` and
`lancedb.rerankers` are now rendered by a single mkdocstrings directive
each, driven by the module's `__all__`, rather than a hand-maintained
list. These four are where most of the drift was, and `__all__` is
harder to forget than a docs page. `lancedb.embeddings` had no
`__all__`; without one mkdocstrings renders no members at all for a
re-export package, so one is added. AGENTS.md gains a section on how the
page is wired up and how to build the docs locally.

Rendering all that code for the first time surfaced ~100 more build
warnings, which would have made #3707 (turning on `mkdocs build
--strict`) harder to land, so the warning backlog is cleared here too.
97 of the 158 warnings were one systematic false positive — griffe
cannot see the generated `__init__` of a pydantic dataclass, so every
documented parameter looks unknown — switched off via
`warn_unknown_params`. The remaining 61 came from 15 docstrings with
real bugs: prose trailing a `Parameters` section (we were rendering
parameters called `The`, `you` and `To`), types dropped because numpydoc
needs spaces around the colon, `num_partitions, default sqrt(num_rows)`
parsing as a list of names and inventing a `default` parameter, and one
parameter indented five spaces. `mkdocs build --strict` now exits 0.

---

#3747 (the coverage test that keeps this from happening again) is
stacked on this branch, so review it after this one.

class GeminiText(TextEmbeddingFunction):
"""
An embedding function that uses Google's Gemini API. Requires GOOGLE_API_KEY to
be set.
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/embeddings
Supports various tasks types:
| Task Type | Description |
|-------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| "`retrieval_query`" | Specifies the given text is a query in a |
| | search/retrieval setting. |
| "`retrieval_document`" | Specifies the given text is a document in a |
| | search/retrieval setting. Using this task type |
| | requires a title but is automatically provided by |
| | Embeddings API |
| "`semantic_similarity`" | Specifies the given text will be used for Semantic |
| | Textual Similarity (STS). |
| "`classification`" | Specifies that the embeddings will be used for |
| | classification. |
| "`clustering`" | Specifies that the embeddings will be used for |
| | clustering. |
Note: The supported task types might change in the Gemini API, but as long as a
supported task type and its argument set is provided, those will be delegated
to the API calls.
Parameters
----------
name : str, default "gemini-embedding-001"
The name of the model to use. Supported models include:
- "gemini-embedding-001" (768 dimensions)
Note: The legacy "models/embedding-001" format is also supported but
"gemini-embedding-001" is recommended.
query_task_type : str, default "retrieval_query"
Sets the task type for the queries.
source_task_type : str, default "retrieval_document"
Sets the task type for ingestion.
